A relative of theirs suggested another doctor, a GP and this doctor said - no need to amputate and that it can be treated. After a course of antibiotics and daily visits to the clinic for cleaning of the wound and redressing it, he recovered and can now walk like before!
So, do seek 2nd, 3rd or more opinions to avoid surgery.

OMG, this is serious, it's so fortunate that your friend's father has fully recovered and not get his foot amputated.
May I know if the doctors are from public or private practice?
